NEXT STEPS

INTENT TO REGISTERYour first step is to complete the “Intent to Register” form online at kellstadt.depaul.edu/intent. Submitting this form notifies us that you intend to enroll at DePaul for the quarter stated in your acceptance letter. When we receive your “Intent to Register,” your student record will be activated.

ACADEMIC ADVISINGYou will find your degree program sheet in your admission packet. This sheet lets you know if you have been waived from any course requirements, lists the courses you will need to take to earn your degree and shows the total number of credit hours you will need to complete.

All incoming KGSB students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for their first quarter of classes. Academic advisors will assist you with course selection as well as show you how to register for classes online. There are two options for scheduling your initial advising appointment: an in-person appointment with an advisor or a telephone advising appointment. Please contact our office at (312) 362-8810 to schedule your advising appointment as soon as possible to ensure the greatest variety of course options.

As a KGSB student, you are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic advisor periodically to plan your enrollment for future quarters and ensure that you complete all of the required core and concentration courses.

There are two types of direct loans:

1. Subsidized Stafford: Eligibility for subsidized direct loans is based on financial need. Repayment is deferred until six months after you graduate or cease to be enrolled at least half time. The interest is paid by the government while you are in school.

2. Unsubsidized Stafford: Eligibility for unsubsidized direct loans is not based on financial need. You may borrow the cost of education minus all other financial aid you receive, up to the annual direct loan maximum. However, you must either pay the interest while you are enrolled, or it will be accrued and capitalized to the principal. Repayment of the principal is deferred until you graduate or cease to be enrolled at least half time.

Once your FAFSA information has been received and processed, you will be able to accept your student loans online through your Campus Connection account.

For more information, visit DePaul’s financial aid website at go.depaul.edu/financial_aid.

TUITION AND FINANCIAL AIDTuition for graduate students in the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business is $980 per credit hour for the 2013–2014 academic year. Each KGSB class is four quarter hours, so the cost per class is $3,920.

In addition to tuition, approximately $150 in fees is assessed per quarter (not per class). These fees include a CTA fee for the U-Pass, a university program that provides colleges students unlimited rides on CTA-operated bus and rail lines. Visit upass.depaul.edu for more information.

Complete information about fees, payment plans (including employer tuition reimbursement) and tuition due dates is available on the Student Accounts website at studentaccounts.depaul.edu.

Please note: DePaul University has implemented e-billing; you will not receive a tuition bill in the mail. We encourage you to take some time to familiarize yourself with the detailed information available on the Student Accounts website.

HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AIDU.S. citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) may apply for federal financial aid. Visit fafsa.ed.gov and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. DePaul’s code is 001671. You’ll need to complete a FAFSA for each academic year that you want to receive financial aid. Federal Direct Stafford Loans allow students to borrow money from the federal government to pay for university expenses. These loans are processed directly through the Office of Financial Aid. This office will provide you with the necessary paperwork; to borrow you do not need to contact a lender.
